OWASSO, Okla. (AP) – Owasso police say a 28-year-old man has been critically injured after his friend accidentally shot him in the head with a rifle.

Police responded to an area apartment complex early Monday after a 26-year-old man called 911 to report the shooting. He says he was handling a .22-caliber rifle when it went off.

Owasso Deputy Police Chief Jason Woodruff tells the Tulsa World that the older man was taken to Saint Francis Hospital in critical condition.

No arrests or charges have been reported.
